For commentary on chapter four from Tim Harford’s The Logic of Life, Megan McArdle steps up.  The post is over at her blog, go over there to leave your opinions and show the Atlantic Monthly who’s got the better commentators!

Addendum: In the comments it is written: "I think the we should distinguish ourselves from them by ending the comments with ‘MR’."

I posted the following over at Megan’s site but looking at the comments i think my inquiry is unlikely to bear any results, thus i hope somebody from MR will be able to oblige:

“When American companies take over companies abroad, suddenly their IT operation seems to improve dramatically. These differences may go a long way towards explaining the growth differentials between the two regions.”

This is a very interesting theory, are there any articles or studies that have looked into this?

MR commenters are better, without a doubt.

We then investigate the economic value (to authors) of informal comments offered by colleagues. This investigation leads us naturally into a discussion of the degree to which formal collaboration through coauthorship serves as a substitute for informal collaboration through collegial commentary. Data on manuscript submissions to the Journal of PolzticalEconomy permit us to shed additional empirical light on this subject. Finally, we demonstrate that while the incidence and extent of formal intellectual collaboration through coauthorship are greater in biology than in economics, the incidence and extent of informal intellectual collaboration are greater in economics than in biology. This leads us to search for evidence (which we find) of quids pro quo offered by authors to suppliers of free nokia n70 games
